Beijing labourers dying in race for Olympic deadline

Six workers were killed late last month on an Olympics project, the construction of a subway tunnel...Many of the 2,000 workers building the National Stadium, the centrepiece of the Olympics site, are...from poverty-stricken Henan, where £70 a month sounds like a good wage to subsistence farmers, even though it is below the legal minimum in the capital.

Sound familiar?
